                                 | This bit was fun, the walls were assembled and with every stroke of the brush the TARDIS appeared! |

 |  
                                 | Heart breaking at the time,but mindful that it was 'moving'NOT the end (cue Tom Baker's last speech) |

 |  
                                 | So, We all pulled together - worked over time and focussed on getting everything ready in time! |

 |  
                                 | on arrival - knowing we had three days to make this work, my heart sank at the state of everything! |

 |  
                                 | unlike Olympia I was able to finish the painting and flats & FLOORING before the console was placed |

 |  
                                 | The space was smaller, but once you build the thing and dress it, with good lighting it works! |
